The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, and it’s looking like a persistent run of groundswell for Lakey Pipe. The water's sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action kicks off Monday, August 3rd, with clean, 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in at 15 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things tidy. The combined wave energy is pumping at 1257 (moderate), and this sets the tone for the first week. The swell direction is a perfect match for the break's optimum from the SW. This is a consistent reef break, so you can expect good shape, though with the size around 6ft, it's a solid intermediate level. Tuesday, August 4th, holds similar 5ft SW swell, again with light cross-off winds and clean conditions. The energy stays moderate (1042). Wednesday, August 5th, sees the same size and clean conditions, with the energy building to 1371 in the afternoon.
The real standout window is the weekend of August 8th and 9th. Saturday, August 8th, is a ripper. You've got 8ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, with a light breeze in the morning (6 mph) making it glassy. The energy is very strong at 3504. This is big, powerful groundswell. For a reef break like Lakey Pipe, this is prime territory – the long period (16 sec) will push through with serious grunt and shape. It's for experienced surfers only at this size. Sunday, August 9th, drops slightly to 7ft, still with clean cross-off winds and energy at 2373. It's a close second. With this spot being a consistent reef and the swell direction dead-on SW, the quality will be exceptional. Crowds are likely here, as it's often busy, especially when it's this good.
The second week starts to see a bit more wind, with moderate breezes from the 14th onwards, but the swell hangs in. The best of the later period shapes up for Tuesday, August 18th, with 8ft SSW swell, strong energy (4040), and clean conditions in the morning. This is another heavy day for experts, but it's over a week out, so treat it as a promising prospect rather than a lock. The run from August 15th to 17th sees smaller, choppier conditions with the wind picking up, so it's not the prime time.
All in all, the first weekend (August 8-9) is the absolute pick of the bunch. Get out there for the Saturday morning glass-off.
Rusty.

Information about the Lakey Pipe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lakey Pipe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lakey Pipe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lakey Pipe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lakey Pipe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lakey Pipe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
